You can import internal forces from RFEM or RSTAB.
Source Model
In the "Source Model" section, specify the model from which you want to import the internal forces. You can select the model from Dlubal Center or via the "Open" dialog box of Windows.
The directory structure of Dlubal Center is imported in the "Project Name" list box when selecting "RFEM 6" or "RSTAB 9" from the "Program" list box. The "Model Name" list box includes all RFEM 6 or RSTAB 9 files of the selected project.
As an alternative, you can define the model in the "Open" dialog box of Windows, if you select "File" in the "Program" list box.
Source Location
In the "Object Type" list box, specify whether you want to import the internal forces of cross-sections or members.
In the case of the "Section" object type, you can select the cross-section whose internal forces you want to import from the "Section" list box.
In the case of the "Members" object type, use the "Member No." text box to specify the numbers of the members whose internal forces are to be considered for the import.
Load Cases / Load Combinations
The "To Select" column lists all load cases / load combinations that are available in the selected source model. To transfer a load case or load combination to the "Selected Load Cases" or "Selected Load Combinations" list, you can use the following options:
- Double-click the load case / load combination.
- Select the load case / load combination or several load cases / load combinations by holding down the [Ctrl] key. Then, click the button
.
In RSECTION, a load case is created for each imported load case and load combination. If the load case already exists, you can specify whether to overwrite it or create another load case.
